Hi,

Nasonex contains mometasone which is a steroid. Steroids reduce inflammation. Steroid nasal spray is less likely to cause hearing loss. Any fluid collection in the ear or infections can cause fullness in ears and thereby hearing loss. These causes should be ruled out. Rule out any raised blood sugar levels.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
